IARU says that a valid QSO is defined as:-\n\n- Mutually identified each other\n- received a report and\n- received confirmation of a successful identification & reception of the report\n\nReport could easily just be the Gridsquare on its own, after all the\nsignal reports meaningless via a satellite if its FM (probably ssb\ntoo) and you're getting into it thats all that matters, remove the\nsignal report and you speed up the QSO and that extra two letters\ndoesn't seem so bad.\n\nWhen you think\n\nEA4GPZ 2E0SQL\n2E0SQL IN80do\nEA4GPZ IO91js\nand a quick Thanks/73\n\nProbably isn't going to take that long.\n\nBut I honestly don't feel that because on EME or M/S its just 4\ncharacters that it should mean a sudden switch, for EME/MS the 4\nletters have been decided based mainly on the digital modes which has\nmoved into HF with JT65 and JT9 before then apart from in a PSK brag\nfile you never really heard QRAs on HF.\n\nI'm not sure how long the 6 characters has been a thing on the\nsatellites in Europe, but in the 4 years I've been on it's certainly\nthe norm.. like you say tons of times wasted on for example SO-50\nhaving to wait for someone to stop calling over you or keying you out\nthat its easily 50% of the time lost just to people probably not being\nable to hear the satellite in the first place.\n\nJust my thoughts anyway and many thanks for the squares while you've\nbeen on from the UK.\n\nPete, 2E0SQL\n\nOn 18 February 2016 at 21:35, Dani EA4GPZ <[email protected]> wrote:\n> El 18/02/16 a las 15:26, Peter Goodhall escribió:\n>\n>> We can strip down exchange information to just be 2E0SQL EA1JM IO91 or\n>> if we don't bother even with that 2E0SQL EA1JM..
